Rhode Island Governor's Executive Order Steps Up Illegal Immigration Fight

FOXNews.com - Rhode Island Governor's Executive Order Steps Up Illegal Immigration Fight - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum: "Linking the presence of undocumented workers to Rhode Island's financial woes, Gov. Don Carcieri signed an executive order that includes a series of steps to combat illegal immigration.

The order signed Thursday requires state agencies and companies that do business with the state to verify the legal status of employees. It also directs the Rhode Island State Police and prison and parole officials to more aggressively find and deport illegal immigrants.

The Republican governor said he understands that illegal immigrants face hardships — but he does not want them in Rhode Island, America's smallest state. 'If you're here illegally, you shouldn't be here illegally. You shouldn't be here,' Carcieri said."
